Prevention

Making Changes to Habitat

The first step in preventing wildlife animals from entering your home is making habitat modifications to your property. Habitat modifications will make your property less appealing to your problem wildlife, so they’ll get away from your home and you’ll be able to get the wildlife animals off your property!

Habitat modifications can include:

• Removing water and food sources (including pet food and birdbaths)
• Getting rid of potential nesting areas
• Moving excessive brush

Exclusion Materials

The most effective method of preventing wildlife from entering your home is to install exclusion materials. Exclusion materials create a barrier between the wildlife animals outside and the inside of your home.

The most common exclusion points include:

• Chimney & Holes in Siding
• Roof, Oven, & Plumbing Vents
• Porch & Deck
